Pregnancy Info HOME

they just think you are too immature to have babies is all...but they're probably thinking of when THEY were that age, because THEY were too immature...but REALLY, in all scientific and healthy body reasons, maturity aside, younger is definitely better...I got married at 20 and pregnant 2 weeks later, now I'm almost 25 and going on my 3rd baby...once you turn 30 you are "high risk" according to doctors, so don't listen to these ladies...they're just leading selfish lives and are PROUD of it and want everyone else to feel stupid for having kids so young. I love it and wouldn't want to do it any other way...why not get it over with now and have them all out of the house by age 45 to 50? Ha, sounds good to me! then I'll be a grandma by 60 instead of like, 80?

Thanks Jessy... its good to hear at least some one doesn't look down on me for ttc at 21!

im 26 and ttc,ive been with my boyfriend for 9 years and wish we'd had a baby years ago,21 is a good age i think....good luck.

Taylre...I got pregnant 2 weeks after my 21st birthday. I got the same thing you're getting. Everyone told me "oh, you need to "live" your life first before you commit to taking care of someone else." what they didn't realize was that I have never been the "partying" type. Don't smoke, drink, do drugs. I don't do anything in my life that would not have been just as much fun with a baby around. I think having children young, although it's tough some times, is just what some people are meant to do. I could not imagine myself being anything other than a mom. I have a 20 month old daughter now and my life is MUCH more fun with her in it. I hope you have lots of luck trying to conceive... and don't listen to negative people...they just don't understand.

I don't think "living" means "partying". Living mean taking advantage of that time in your life and experimenting with the things you enjoy. I've always wanted to have kids - ever since I was 18 I've wanted to have 4 kids before i turned 30. I'm now 27 and pregnant with first baby. I traveled and went on different expeditions for my part of "living life". some of my travels were for pleasure and some were volunteering in variouse places in need. I was never the partying type nor going to school for a long period of time. During these years I have learned so much about myself, about my suroundings and the world in general and I'm glad I can now pa__s that knowledge on to my children. The things I've done have opened up my mind and has made me a more worldly person with stronger beliefs. But I know once I have this baby that I will not be able to imagine my life any other way.

I TTC my first at 19. I just had my second and just turned 23. As long as you are mature, have the financial stability and have a great relationship with your partner, then in my opinion there is no problem with it.

Nothing is wrong with ttc at 21. Me and my husband were together since we were 15. He was only man I was ever with. We ttc when 20 and got preg! We have a 15 month old now! She is so great! Got married last Sept and planned our 2nd baby! We are now preg with baby number 2! We cant wait! I have wanted kids my whole life! Why wait till ur older? Than u will be old when they move out. Hubby and I always talked baout having kids young and would have it no other way. It may be harder at first but it is way worth it! Good luck ttc!

YOU KNOW WHAT, IM 20 AND IM PREGNANT AND IM GOING TO BE 21 AND I DON'T BELIEVE ITS TOO EARLY BECAUSE YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE WAIT TO HAVE KIDS AFTER EVERYTHING FINANCIAL STUFF AND CAREERS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND THAN BY THAT TIME THEIR BODYS FERTILITY DECREASES AND SOMETIMES THEY TRY SO HARD TO GET PREGNANT. i THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON AND IF YOU CAN REALLY HAVE THE HEART AND THE STRENGTH TO RAISE, FEED AND GIVE THAT BABY THE LOVE. I DONT BELIEVE IN ABORTION AND I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT EARLY PREGNANCY , MY COUSIN ONCE SAID TO ABORT IF I DID . I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO COLD, ESPECIALLY IN MY RELIGION SINCE ITS NOT ALLOWED. I LOVE CHILDREN AND I LOVE ALL MY NIECES AND NEPHEW. I WOULD SAY HAVE THE BABY BECAUSE IN A WAY IT WILL MAKE YOU GROW AN DALSO BRING A LIFE INTO THIS WORLD, ITS ONE DUTY A WOMAN DOES WITH PRIDE. HOPE THIS HELPS. BYE!

At 21 you are really healthy, strong and have a lot of energy to take care of the child so that make it good. Plus statistically you would have an easier pregnancy and healthier baby. Promblems you could have are finacial or lack of maturity. I had my first child at 24 and I regretted not being able to go out anymore. At the same time my son had colic until 7 months and I did not get more than 3hrs sleep at one time until he was 8 months. I don't think I could have survived that if I had been 35+ yrs old.

I am also 21, married to the most wonderful and blessed men. People consider me very mature and I do look a little older and act older than a lot of 21 year olds. I think its great time to get preggo....., however for me it is not happening fast and its kind of frustrating... Taylre, how long have you been TTC? God bless everyone

We have been ttc 5 months now. Every month it is an even bigger let down when I get af because I keep thinking ' this will be the month ' then it isn't! Hopefully this month will be it though! How long have you been ttc Cutie?

hi girls! there is nothing wrong with ttc at 21. I was 22 when I conceived my son. I had no problems. Now I'm 26 tried for another and miscarried.I'm sure my age had nothing to do with it (right?!!?) I think I'm still pretty young to have kids. In between that time I didn't use any BC pills. Just waiting now to ttc again! All the best everyone

Nothing wrong with it at all. Like the others said if you are happy and in a stable relationship go for it, good luck.

I don't see anything wrong with it at all. I'm 22 and my bf and I are TTC. We have been together for 31/2 years, both have good paying jobs with benefits. I know a lot of times younger people are more selfish, but everyone is different. If you feel you're ready and can really handle it then go for it. good luck and baby dust!

I think for some people it is better for them to wait until they are older, but not for everyone. Shame on those who try tell you that you are too young at 21 because when they were that age they weren't ready. Every women wants different things out of life. If you are ready for it, and will provide your baby-to-be with love and stability that is what is most important. I am 21, happily married, and pregnant with a honeymoon baby that we were ttc. Sure there are still a lot of things I want to experience out of life - and I look forward to experiencing those things as a mother :) Best wishes to all!!

Taylre, i dont think you r to young. I had a baby at 21 and i loved every minute of it. i had my next baby at 27. you do what is right for you and your partner. if your relationship is at its strongest then go for it. i wish you all the luck in the world and im sure you will make wonderful parents. take care x
